13.6 Finishing a Move or Split Job

Finish continues a move or split job that has reached a state that requires manual intervention to finish even though some files might remain behind.

  1. In iManager, open the Job Control page to view a job status report.

    For instructions, see Section 13.1, Monitoring the Status of Move Volume or Split Volume Jobs.

  2. Select the Job check box next to one or more jobs waiting for administrator intervention that you want to complete, acknowledging and understanding the exceptions noted.

  3. Click Finish.

    After the page refreshes, the selected jobs report their status as Scheduled, Running, or Complete, depending on how much work was left to do in the job.

    If you inadvertently selected some jobs that are not eligible to be finished, iManager ignores the Finish command for those jobs. It applies only to those jobs for which the command is valid.

  4. After the job is completed, do the following cleanup tasks:

    • If the job successfully reaches the Completed state on its own, no files remain behind in the original volume or below the DFS junction point in the original volume.

    • If the job reaches the Completed state after a Cleanup Failed state, one or more undeleted files might remain behind in the original volume or below the DFS junction point in the original volume.

    • If the job reaches the Completed state after a Files Skipped state, one or more uncopied files might remain behind in the original volume or below the DFS junction point in the original volume. For information about viewing skipped files, see Section 13.5, Viewing Files Skipped by a Move or Split Job.

      IMPORTANT:You must manually delete or transfer files left behind. Users can no longer access files left behind.
